4th of July!

We had such a memorable 4th this year. Tante Amy was in town and aunt Tina and her kiddos are in town this summer from New Zealand! With 4th of July falling on a Tuesday, the whole family decided to head up to the lake house mo day afternoon/evening for a camp out! We had an absolute blast!!

 

7 families slept over. Most of my aunts and uncles slept inside and all the cousins and kids slept in the tents! Jack and I shared a small 2 person tent and Elisabeth and Joe shared another tent. The kids could not believe they got to sleep outside! More camping trips in our future after seeing how great they did!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With most of younger cousins being in grade school and high school, I'm always so impressed and touched with how much attention they give to our littles. They tAke time to play with them and come up with fun games - it's really sweet!

 

 

 

Elisabeth love loves Tante Amy! She fell asleep swinging with her

 

 

 

We played in the water, took boat rides, played cards, ate yummy food, roasted marshmallows, took bike rides, visited the candy store, played slip and slide and laughed and talked late into the night - a wonderfully memorable lake house trip!
